Hey bitches! I'm currently working on saving up an emergency fund. Once that's where I want it, I wanted to start investing and open a retirement account of some sort. I know for emergency funds, people say 3-6 months of expenses. Are there any general guidelines like that for you should have x amount in order to start investing or x amount in order to open a retirement account? Thanks so much!
Hi puggle! This is a great question. First, here is our guidelines for emergency funds:
You Must Be This Big to Be an Emergency Fund
You are a very wise and savvy baby bitch because you know that you must ALWAYS SAVE AN EMERGENCY FUND BEFORE INVESTING. Full stop. That is non-negotiable.
Now, once you've got that emergency fund, we recommend starting your investing in one of two ways:
Open a brokerage account with $1000. Most of these bad boys have minimum deposits, and that number is usually somewhere around $1k. More info in the links below.
Start an Acorns account with $100. Acorns is one of our marketing affiliates so if you click this link we'll get a little money when you sign up. More importantly, Acorns is a micro-investing platform, which makes it so much easier to get started with a small amount of money. So if you're brand new to investing, and you don't have a lot to get started with, Acorns is a great option. We personally have been using them for years and have no complaints.
Hope that helps! Here's way more info:
